Biography

Attractive blonde actress who made her film debut at the age of 18 and starred in a host of uninspired romantic confections through the 1940s. Allegedly shattered by the break-up of a relationship with Rex Harrison (who was married to actress Lili Palmer at the time), Landis took her own life in 1948.

Carole began her career as a singer in San Francisco. During World War II Carole spent more time entertaining the troops than any other Hollywood star. In 1943 she wrote a book about her experiences called Four Jills In A Jeep. It was made into a movie the following year. Carole also starred on Broadway in the musical A Lady Says Yes. She had four failed marriages and was romantically linked to Franchot Tone and Jacqueline Susann.
